''Rhythm Heaven'''s development "wasn't easy" for the staff. Osawa didn't like the idea of using buttons, so he considered a control mechanic that involved the Touch Screen. The ability to touch the edge of the Touch Screen was considered, but was determined to be too difficult. | {{todo|move this and other development/localization/regional differences trivia to [[Rhythm Heaven/Unused]]}} | ||

The Flick action took the staff a "little getting used to" as they had to make it feel "fair" to the player until they realised that if flicking was combined with the music it would give the players a "good sense of timing". The Flick action took them about "two to three months" to research and "six months" to eventually adapt the control into ''Rhythm Heaven'' | The Flick action took the staff a "little getting used to" as they had to make it feel "fair" to the player until they realised that if flicking was combined with the music it would give the players a "good sense of timing".

The controls for ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', just like every other game in the series, are very basic. There are four main mechanics used, both for all of the mini games available to play and just getting around the game itself. These controls are tapping, holding, sliding and flicking, in addition to the L/R buttons that are used in exclusively [[Rockers 2]]. The start button is used to pause during a mini game. | The controls for ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', just like every other game in the series, are very basic.

*There are certain [[Rhythm Games]] which do not end a [[Perfect]] run if the player goes only slightly off. They include [[Shoot-'em-up 2|Shoot-'Em-Up]], [[Frog Hop]], [[Lockstep]], as well as their arrange versions and in [[Remix]]es. These misses still impact the player's score outside of the [[Perfect Campaign]], however. | *There are certain [[Rhythm Games]] which do not end a [[Perfect]] run if the player goes only slightly off.
